Holy fark! Before I watched it I was thinking 'gentle nudge', but it is pretty bloody apparent it was a good go at murder. He could well have gone under the wheel had things panned out differently.

Makes you wonder if he should have been sent down for longer, shocking.

I'm not condoning the driver's actions, but at the same time what an idiotic cyclist! Some would say he was asking for it, indeed begging for it. He put himself directly in front of the bus and shouted abuse at the driver whilst flicking the wiper, he instigated the road rage, then he deliberately swerved into the road as the bus pulled out. What sort of a person who values their life would do that?

I hate to think that he'll be given thousands in compensation as if he was completely innocent.

The fact is if the cyclist had carried on his journey and not antagonised the bus driver the incident would not have occurred.

I must admit I find cyclists irritating at times. I've had them do the deliberate blocking thing to demonstrate their importance on the road. Most of them seem to think they are the moral owners of the road - cyclists are often very boring people to talk to.

There's no excuse for what the bus driver did though - when you are annoyed save up the rage and post it on the internet... he might have non cyclist children!

I have to say that, given the evidence, I am not surprised the bus driver was punished but am dismayed that, what sounds like an incident of cyclist rage, goes unmentioned.

I would like to know which law, specifically, gives a cyclist the right or power to deliberately park their bike against the front of a staotionary vehicle, effectively blokcing it?

Reading the comments on DM articles is its own reward.

I guess you dont know many cyclists. Your comment comes across as rather stereotyped and prejudiced.

People who cycle are no more or less boring than people who don't - any individual can be boring ..even some "car drivers" :P
